This is the news that every family dreads to receive, that a loved one has been prematurely taken from this life in a deadly car or truck accident. It is such a sudden, and excruciating experience. The thought of not being able to say goodbye or being able to ever see that loved one again is an indescribable pain. Traffic accidents happen all the time and, unfortunately, there are fatalities. No matter how careful of a driver you are, there is still a chance that you can be involved in a serious wreck. Every year hundreds of our moms, dads, sons, daughters, sisters and brothers die in car accidents. Here at Robert Bates and Associates, we want you to know that we are here if your family has experienced a death due to a car or truck crash on the roads and highways of Tennessee. We focus our practice on representing people and families who have suffered serious personal injuries, including fatalities, that were caused by someone else’s negligent and careless conduct.
Traffic Fatality Numbers
Serious and violent automobile accidents happen all the time in Tennessee and specifically in the Kingsport, Johnson City and Bristol region of the state. Traffic fatalities happen more than most people think. Going back a few years from 2019 to 2009, there were an average of 1,113 traffic fatalities in Tennessee each year. So far in 2022, there have been 687 traffic related deaths, which is an increase of 23% at this time last year. Even though every year, cars and trucks are becoming safer to drive, the number of traffic deaths in Tennessee is still a major problem.
